the uClinux.org guys are just very bad at pushing anything back
upstream.  so dont rely on them sending anything at all.  the uClinux
distro is very much run as "suck in sources, patch it until it works,
and then never touch again unless things break".  i dont know what
their future even holds though considering the company developing it
were taken over by mcafee purely to buy up the competition and squash
it.

so if you want something fixed, you'll need to integrate it yourself.
